Choosing the architecture that fits for your company. By Dante Augello, Inductive Automation, adapted by the IEN Europe editorial team
SEW-EURODRIVE products power applications from airport baggage handling and e-commerce parcel sorting to connected production systems. In late 2024, the company opened a smart factory for shafts and gear parts in Graben-Neudorf, near its Bruchsal headquarters. A key element is the fully automated buffer warehouse in the North Hall, developed with SIVAplan’s intralogistics expertise and Leuze’s sensor technology.

Timo Köchel will take up the role of Chief Operations Officer (COO) EMEA at LAPP on October 1, 2026. As such, he will be responsible for production, logistics and procurement in LAPP’s largest region EMEA. He succeeds Michael Seddig, who previously held a dual role as CEO and COO.
Running parallel to HANNOVER MESSE 2027 from April 5 to 8, NexGeM is a new platform dedicated to bringing these developments together for the machine tool industry and its value chain. The focus is on digital technologies and solutions that increase manufacturing productivity, efficiency and competitiveness.
For the process industry the CRA presents a particular challenge. In hardly any other industrial sector are plants as long-lived. Field devices, measuring points, Ex components, and bus infrastructures often remain in operation for 10, 20, or more years. Many of these systems are still based on proven and robust fieldbus technologies such as PROFIBUS PA and PROFIBUS DP, which were not developed according to modern security-by-design principles.
The complexity of the technical and regulatory requirements for Safety and Security is increasing. One example is the Machinery Regulation, which comes into force in 2027. In order to meet the increased demands in matters of safety, security and compliance, production managers and safety officers are turning their focus to full digital documentation.
